No Kawhi again for the Clippers, which sucks but Suns need to take advantage and win. Even it ends up being another ugly win. A win is a win, so let’s go freaking win!

Should be a good one…. Who’s gonna be the chef today? Durant, Booker, Ayton, CP3? I’m liking the chance KD leads all scores today

Let's see if Ayton can take advantage if so. He really should be able to prosper.

Monty acknowledged they can do a better job of using him against the small lineup. We’ll have to see if anything changes.

My prediction: Ayton has a good game, Booker has a bad game (at least by his standards—he’s due for one and LAC will likely focus on him more), whether we win comes down to Durant.

If they focus more on Book, KD will feast

It would be great if they try to take away Book only for KD to get his 40+ point game. :lol:

Out still. His back is a little sore.

It seems like Tony Brothers is always terrible for us.

Al McCoy and Tim Kempton talking right now about how Monty has to make a concerted effort to run plays for Ayton and get him the ball and keep him involved offensively.

We have to stay aggressive, not let up just because we're up and Kawhi's out. Danger of getting complacent and trying to coast; this Clipper team won't fall for that. Gotta stomp on them while they're down and get the 3-1 lead to all but ensure the series win. LET'S GO

Don’t want to hear crap about drawing up plays for him when he chokes on his first chance.
